FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How can my group/school participate with OCS?
Decide what youd like to do. Raise the funds required to sponsor a project. We'll help with all the other components necessary to make your project a successful one. A simple phone call can get the ball rolling (714) 435-0745.

What kind of paints do you use?
We use a high quality indoor/outdoor water-based acrylic paint. The semi-gloss sheen is our favorite. These paints are expensive but worth it.

Do we need a protective coating for our mural?
A protective coating (usually a polyurethane clear coat sealant) is recommended but not always necessary. It will prolong the life of the mural or map and may provide a little extra protection against graffiti vandalism should it occur. It can be provided for an additional fee.

How many children can participate on a project?
A typical Operation Clean Slate project will have 25 to 50 participants. More can participate depending on the mural size and working conditions.

How long does a mural project take to complete?
Depending on the size, complexity of design, working conditions, number of people helping and of course the weather, an OCS mural takes anywhere from one to ten days of painting time. Thats about 3 to 40 hours.

How can we do our own mural or map project?
If you'd like to tackle a mural or map on your own we'd be happy to help you get started.
